Though sometimes the 'Golden Years' seem more like tarnished brass, they are not the end of adventure. I invite you to follow me as I transcend from full-time government employee to full-time life observer. I'll cover life, government, travel, food, gardening, whatever crosses my path.

The Worst Movie

If you ask me which is the worst movie I have ever seen, all the way through, I would tell you 'The English Patient'. I saw the entire movie because I went with someone who was actually enjoying it. Had I gone by myself I would have walked out.

The movie is 162 minutes long. That was at least 152 minutes longer than I wanted to sit there. I disliked it from the very beginning. I just wanted it to end. It was pure torture for me.

I know you may think this sounds cruel, but if you saw the movie and saw the Seinfeld episode about it, think of me as Elaine.

I mention this because it has taken me two days to watch the movie 'The Next Three Days'. A friend raved about it. She must have been on pain medication and really doped up. This one was only 126 minutes. They could have done it in a one-hour TV show. I have never ever used the fast forward button so much. And it still took me two days. I don't think I could watch more than 15 minutes at a time.

What I want to know is this: How did this movie get rated so highly? What did I miss?
